My buddy bought one of these and he said it was a very cheaply made rifle, lots of plastic parts. I'll check with him in a week or so and ask him how he likes it. Who knows it might be what the Dr. ordered.

I shot a coyote this morning with my 22-250 and 45 gr hollow points at about 184 yards. I hit that dog in the upper shoulder......what a mess! I gotta stay away from them bones!

Yea I'm starting to realize its all about bullet placement, I have to train myself to wait and aim behind the front shoulder and between the two rib bones! I'll get it one of these days....lol. My buddy shot a coyote that way last night with a .223 and 50gr nosler balistic tips I reloaded for him. It was perfect, the bullet entered behind the shoulder making a dime size hole and exited with a hole about the size of a nickle on the opposite side. The dog dropped in its tracks, 80 yard shot!

220 swift is a good round but the 22-250 is very close in performance and there is alot of factory ammo available for it (well there used to be anyways). I think the 22-250 is alot of why the swift is not as popular. If the 223 is damaging pelts I dont thing a 220 swift is going to help the situation. lol

Dad just used the 17wsm to shoot a coyote on Wednesday (first one with the new caliber). It was about and 80yd heart shot. The coyote ran about 150+yds before he went down. I think it might be a little light for yotes event though it got the job done but it is going to be awesome for fox and bobcats from what I have seen so far.
